The format of Come Dine With Me goes through an enforced change due to the COVID lockdown and social distancing. Rather than contestants visiting each other's homes, 2021 sees episodes shot where they're all cooking in the same house.
The Come Dine With Me rulebook is torn up in the North West of England, where not four, five but SIX contestants take part in a single week. Leading the larger group in a socially-distanced house in Cheshire is recruitment manager Julia.
The first host, entrepreneur and social media star Kuda, takes his guests on a culinary adventure, with a Zimbabwean and world-influenced African à la carte menu.
